Prehistoric Times

We have a new addition to our brood! Good news-doesn’t require feeding of any sort.  Bad news-I already broke its neck.  Announcing . . . Woolly-the Woolly Mammoth! 

Isn’t he cute?  This was a very cool “homeschool style” project for The Boy.  He just completed a science unit on Living Things of the Past and fossils.  We He became fascinated with the Woolly Mammoth so he completed an animal report with pictures and tons of facts.

Homeschool Style

The Boy is homeschooled.  We are fairly new to the process but it fits right in with our hippy “Montessori” household (in quotes because we do not follow the philosophy but it is what some people like to call our parenting style).  It has not been unusual for our house to be dominated by the interests and current obsessions of the The Girl and The Boy.  I don’t mind the clutter of legos, art projects, experiments, and inventions of all types. It is what matters most to us.  So even prior to our adventure in homeschool, our house was a place of fun, learning, and discovery but not always of neurotic impeccable neatness.  Now that we homeschool The Boy, we like to call it “Homeschool Style”.
